Saveur Creole - Creole restaurant in Montclair - 131 Grove St, USA

I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. We went on a Thursday night, it had a few dinners but it wasn't busy. The service was great, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere. The food was authentic creole, it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be returning.

A special place for a nice dinner out. The soup and our appetizer were fantastic, our main course was good but didn’t live up to the previous courses. This establishment is BYOB, white tablecloth, and has a lovely outdoor seating area.

Wow... just wow! The food was absolutely delicious... so much flavor. Upscale ambiance and superb service. They really cater to you and make you feel cared for. The first time I went alone as a self-love date. I was so impressed that I invited my church small group there for a Food, Fun & Fellowship night. They were so accommodating, as I wasn't sure how many people would be joining. I highly recommend for a date night, either for yourself, friends or a large party. I even brought my husband there for Sunday Brunch and they have a brand new menu just for Sunday brunch. Everything we ate was soooo yummy! Oh, and they have vegan options! They win!

Where do I start?? I love Creole food and all the items we ordered were delicious, so no complaints there. Ambience was also pretty good, kind of in between fine dining and family friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 Stars simply because we had a really bad experience w.r.t. upselling by our Waitress. We all expect the staff to upsell but it should not be done in an underhanded manner. Our visit was almost a year back (just catching up on some of my pending reviews). We were never given an option of Tap or Bottled water, and the waitress just filled our glasses whenever we asked for water, but she failed to mention it was Bottled water ($5 per Bottle). She also asked us if we would like Regular or Black Rice, to be served with our Entrées, but didn't mention that it was additional cost ($15). We were in for a rude surprise when we got the cheque since it was at least $100 more than what we expected. Manager/Owner did eventually take it off the final cheque but it took some lengthy discussion. This might be an one-off scenario, and hope other patrons didn't experience this.

The decor is amazing, The Art on the walls are brilliant and are done by the owner , the atmosphere is upscale and let's talk about the food, it was my first time having Haitian cuisine and it blew my mind the food was excellent.. especially the black rice and the goat. The pickled pepper is a must .. will definitely go again.

I use to live in the area; now everytime I am back, I always hit this restaurant for a taste of home. Delicious Haitian food, great customer service. I love the new addition and art work on the walls! The restaurant is over 12 years strong ❤️ Ron thank you!

Amazing food! I only wish I could afford to come eat here everyday! Beautifully decorated inside! The owner Ron was very friendly. He chatted with us for a little. Service was on point! Plates were cleared as soon as we were done. I've been looking for a Haitian restaurant for sometime. Most are too far or just take out places. So when we drove by accidentally. We had to come back and try the food. Did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. Beef Legume was delicious. Goat Stew was good, hubby loved it, I'm not a fan of goat though. Montego Bay Beef was excellent. Griot Mi Casa was perfect, not too greasy but nice and crispy. The Mambo Gumbo was SPICY! Be warned ⚠️ 🤣 Bouillion Créole was perfect. Black rice was good but too much cloves for my taste. Passion Fruit Mango was yummy. Lemonade was refreshing.

I’ve got to say, I really really wanted to like this place and I hoped the reviews that I read were wrong. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Some food was okay, some food was good, some food was terrible. How do you make gumbo tasteless??? The prices are laughable for the portions and the quality. I mean they are literally charging $15 for rice! And while the owner and/or manager seemed friendly, our actual server seemed annoyed that she even had to deal with us. Especially when we questioned if certain items would incur extra costs. If you’re reading this and are on the fence about going, by all means, go experience this place for yourself. But I for one wish I would’ve heeded the prior reviews and will not be returning anytime soon .
